Book of Lofts
Lofts are apartments resulting from the conversion of former industrial or commercial buildings. They have their origins in the New York of the 1950s. At that time, artists and bohemians in search of cheap places to live and work began to move into abandoned late-nineteenth-century buildings that had once been warehouses, workshops or factories, thus creating a new American version of the Parisian artist's atelier. Nowadays, the tendency to convert warehouses and factories into homes has extended everywhere. Once low-cost living spaces for artists, often occupied illegally by students, they have grown into elegant, luxurious residences reserved for a wealthy elite. This book describes 55 lofts from all over the world, occupying buildings ranging from huge industrial spaces to small business premises. It is illustrated by more than 600 photographs, architectural plans and computer graphics. Издание на английском, французском и немецком языках.

Martinez Patricia Modular Loft. Creating Flexible-use Living Enviro nments that Optimize the Space
In the ingenious projects presented in this book, planners make creative use of construction techniques, often artisanal, to create flexible-use living environments that optimize the use of space. Some recurring elements in this type of planning are enclosures that integrate and conceal furnishings, new lofts that take advantage of underutilised interior height, furniture that can be moved to differentiate areas, and independent volumes that focus functional areas.

Losantos Agata, Canizares Ana G. Highrises Social Living
Collective housing has played a major role in architectural advances of the twentieth century. Social changes in the western world have forced architects to take note of the new priorities. In a western world that has reached a certain standard of health, energy efficiency and the need for an urban cohesion around the buildings are the new burning issues. A careful choice of materials and continues variation of the type of residence, be it single-room studios, multiple-bedroom flats, or open-plan lofts, also characterize this contemporary housing movement. This book brings together some of the most outstanding projects of recent years including luxury skyscrapers, innovative social buildings, restorations and volumetric experiments of world renown. Illustrated with more than 400 photographs and plans, the projects in this book represent a wonderful example of the current desire to update collective housing.

New kitchen design
The fires lit long ago inside traditional kitchens defined the concept of home since antiquity. Since today, the kitchen can be considered the heart of any domestic space. Kitchen types have evolved over time and adapted to the needs of each time period. Today, kitchen designs from a great number of countries look to the model of the American kitchen, characterized by its open-plan scheme and its integration into traditional apartments, lofts of studios.

Kliczkowski Guillermo Raul The best of Lofts
The English word (how endlessly rich are monosyllables in the English language) refers to an attic or garret, to the room or compartment usually found over a stable, or to the upper floor of a storehouse. There is a quality afforded by the height, which I consider essential to the concept of loft. On the other hand, when the verb is conjugated (to loft), it refers to throwing the ball up high, and "lofty" also indicates great height, meaning tall, stately, high. To be precise, although there is no room for precise definitions in this field, the word does not define a function (as in the case of house, office, laboratory, etc.) as much as a series of architectural features. One loft can be adequate for living in, and another can be for working in. One can also live and work, which in fact is most often the case. The distinctive features are open floor plans, minimal enclosures, the exaltation of space (due to what has been said before about the height, to which we must add the large windows and a very special light), few materials and an informal atmosphere.

Cuito Aurora, Castillo Encarna Lofts
More than a new architectural typology, lofts have become a style of life. Ever since the 1950's when New York artists of scant resources occupied, in practically illegal ways, old factories and warehouses to set up their studios and homes, these diaphanous spaces have grown ever more important. Nowadays, they represent an important part of urban residences. Nowadays, the influence is so important that we can even see the construction of new blocks of dwellings that are very similar in design to the old factory premises. Text in English and Spanish.
